"i wanna show someone this thing ive been working on for ages" brain vs "Not Until It's Good!!!" brain: FIGHT

what if u were eating a bunch of peanuts and there were just a random tooth mixed in there

(sea monster bio)

You've probably seen my writhing in The Atlantic

saw a scarecrow out in a field today that was literally just a reddish hoodie in the usual scarecrow t-pose. hood up. and u know what? for some reason it WAS a lil spooky

really enjoying this title page of the 1830s play "The Hunchback" by james sheridan knowles calling itself "THE ONLY UNMUTILATED EDITION". why call it unabridged when you could express your Feelings

i mean that's also kind of what he gets changed into in the story but still

i'm watching the 1921 danish silent film adaptation of dickens' Our Mutual Friend (bc i know how to party on a friday night) and all the characters' names are the same in the danish intertitles except Radfoot has been changed to Ratfood??????? 😭

i know getting really faithful reproductions out of print suppliers can be tricky and frustrating like with color and stuff but come onnnnnn

also why tf is his skin darker than bilbo’s. (we know why.) he’s lived in a cave for ages

(mostly i mean the eyes and teeth but also stop giving villains big long hooked noses. obvious racist bullshit)

Illustration of Bilbo and Gollum from The Hobbit. Gollum has huge all-white eyes and enormous sharp teeth.

really horrid and unpleasant gollum i saw on an 80s copy of the hobbit today

proud of ur self-control

had a root canal this morning and getting a pap smear later this afternoon because im just the monarch of tasks i guess

girls will consider sewing plushies of their ocs to get out of writing the actual story of those ocs

i think we can all admit richard scarry's miss honey did this outfit better

this too is part of the novel-writing process

i used to feel guilty about giving up on listening to audiobooks in the car (auditory processing/focus is just too difficult for me) until i realized my commute is crucial daydreaming time comparable only to shower time for zero-screen low-distraction mind-wandering

tonight it came up how rare it is for a cereal mascot be a girl. & like, damn. how often did i, as a child, get to see a girl or woman obsessed w food? in a way for me to laugh at but also IMITATE? where's the girl freak-ass Honeycomb creature? where is the female of his species?

winter is my favorite season in video games........i love video game winter....... all pristine snow and no cold feet or driving on ice

weird how much of communication is just vaguely commenting on something to see if the other person has anything interesting to add about it. all u say is "born on valentine's day, huh?" & you're opening a space hoping to hear they once got dumped on double vday/bday or something

crafting is so good for the brain i love crafting

hate the time between getting ur test results back and being able to consult w ur doctor about them where u just have to be like. well what the fuck does THAT mean

i was a beta reader on this and not only is it excellent but there are globs out the wazoo

highlight of my day was sitting & chatting for 20 minutes with a 4-year-old in a medical waiting room. (her mom translated the occasional word for me.) in one pocket she had crayons & in the other she had milk chocolate scented lip balm, which she called her "chocolate lipstick"

nothing is as good as hang out
